Fanspeak: Redskins Personnel

Quarterbacks: C -Look you have to grade on a curve somewhat, but the fact is the production just isn’t there for Robert Griffin III. Yes his overall yardage is pretty good (11th in the NFL), but too much of that is still garbage time work. If you look at the various rankings that quarterbacks are … More »

The Broncos came into yesterday’s game with one of the worst passing defenses in the league, and with their top corner out for the game injured. If you watched the game that would have been a surprise as the Redskins were just 20-39 for 180 yards 1 TD and 4 interceptions. It was an embarrassment … More »

QB Rex Grossman: -Another day of Grossman being inactive. Grossman has gotten a lot of flak for being on the roster, but when you look around the league and see all the back-up and 3rd string QB’s who have been forced into action this year the Redskins are looking quite smart for keeping him around. … More »

The Redskins have a couple of guys on their injury report this week that could impact their decisions and game plan for the Broncos: Questionable: DE Stephen Bowen: -Bowen has a torn PCL muscle in his right knee and is going to try to play through the injury. Even if he is able to still … More »

1. Pressure Peyton Manning: -The idea of “stopping” Peyton Manning is a fools errand, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do some things to limit him and make him have just a good game over a great one. The Colts did that this past week, and they did it with pressure. While Manning did throw … More »

Though the Redskins won the Bears game they still saw some major issues that almost lost the game for them.  Here are 5 things that went wrong that the Redskins need to get a handle on. 1. Special Teams: -One could do a “5 Issues on Special Teams from the Bears Game” post, but I’ll … More »

With the suspension to Brandon Meriweather the Redskins will have an open roster spot for the next two weeks. For the most part I’d use it on a safety considering just how thin that position is. Here are some of the top options (in no particular order): 1. Sign Chase Minnifield off the Practice Squad: -Now this would be … More »

1. The offense played their most complete game: -Last year the Redskins offense carried this team, but this season they have struggled. Their overall numbers aren’t that bad, but so much of it comes in garbage time that it is tough to give a lot of weight to it. In the first 5 games of … More »

Here are my predictions for who will be inactive on Sunday versus the Bears: QB Rex Grossman: -No shock here as Grossman is inactive for the 6th straight game. Despite being inactive each week, Grossman is such a great insurance policy to have on the depth chart. RB Chris Thompson: -The Redskins finally sat Thompson … More »
